Roshi Rafe Jnan Martin explores Case 92 from the Blue Cliff Record (Hekiganroku). In this exploration, Roshi Martin points to "where the vast ocean meets the shallows of our actual life."
The case: One day, the World-Honored One ascended to the rostrum. Manjusri struck the table with the gavel and said, “Contemplate clearly the Dharma of the Dharma-King! The Dharma of the Dharma-King is like this!” Thereupon, the World-Honored One descended from the rostrum.
